Github “fatal: remote origin already exists”

What should I do when this occurred? Should I use this command "git remote rm origin" or just push it back again?

Thank you in advance.

It depends what you were trying to do when you got the error

It is saying the repo you are trying to push into from your local repo(i.e your workstation) already exist/has been established on GitHub. Therefore, you don't need to run that command. Try this: git remote add origin {add here the url for that repo from your GitHub account} OR run : git push origin_1 master.
